According to the Matthew, Mark and Luke, the last supper was celebrated on the Passover. But, it was celebrated before the Passover in the John.

Going back a few years, here’s a thread I started on this same question. I still find the author’s argument convincing.

Last Supper a Passover meal? John vs. Synoptics Sacred Scripture
What follows is a very brief outline of a chapter in a book by Joachim Jeremias. I find his argument very convincing and I can no longer see any reason for casting doubt on the Synoptics’ timing.

In at least five other places John describes what can only be a Passover meal: **1. An evening meal beginning after dark.―**This was something that h…
